What is the name of the movie city in the United States?

Hollywood is located northwest of Los Angeles, California, USA. As the center of the American film and television industry. This is a place associated with great wealth and dreams. Hollywood started out as a small village. At the beginning of the 20th century, the center of American film production gradually moved from New York to the sunny West Coast. In 1913, Teacher DeMille's large-scale shooting activities in Hollywood and the first real studio built by Paramount Company marked the birth of Hollywood, the movie city. Subsequently, Hollywood quickly grew into the center of the American and world film production industry. It was no longer just a place name, but became synonymous with the American film industry system. The development of this industrial system is based on the large studio system and the star system. Big studio production is a unique production method for Hollywood movies. Its characteristics are: the development of large and comprehensive monopoly companies. For example, the eight major companies such as MGM, Paramount, Warner Brothers, and 20th Century Fox are mostly integrated producers. It is a large-scale monopoly enterprise that integrates production, distribution and exhibition; the division of labor within the studio is meticulous, emphasizing collective cooperation and eliminating the role of individuals; implementing the dictatorship of the producer; highlighting the role of actors, which forms the so-called star system. The star system was created by studios to ensure high box office revenue. For stars, it means both fame and fortune and being fixed in a certain type of role for a long time. Until the 1940s, Hollywood maintained its status as the world's largest film fantasy base. Hollywood began to decline after World War II, as the rise of television and the enforcement of antitrust laws led to the breakup of the big studio system. In the midst of decline, Hollywood developed television production in response to the trend of the times. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Hollywood film industry began to revive. From the mid-1980s to today, the American film industry has used its huge investments and the use of high-tech means to restore Hollywood to its position as the world's film industry hegemon.
